The Black Mass - Of the Loves of the Incubi and Succubi (Fantasy and Horror Classics) | Free Book
Montague Summers
This vintage book deals with the subject of Satanism and demonology,
looking in particular at the Black Mass and incubi and succubi. A
Black Mass refers to a ritual wherein the Traditional Latin Mass of
the Catholic Church is inverted, popularised in the nineteenth century
by French literature in such books as Jules Michelet's “Satanism and
Witchcraft” and Joris-Karl Huysmans's “Là-bas”; while succubi and
incubi are demons that prey upon sleeping victims by engaging in
sexual activity with them while they are sleeping. “The Black Mass -
Of the Loves of the Incubi and Succubi” will appeal to those with an
interest in the occult and is not to be missed by fans and collectors
of Summers' seminal work. Augustus Montague Summers (1880 – 1948) was
an English clergyman and author most famous for his studies on
vampires, witches and werewolves—all of which he believed to be very
much real. He also wrote the first English translation of the infamous
15th-century witch hunter's manual, the “Malleus Maleficarum”, in
1928. Other notable works by this author include: “A Popular History
of Witchcraft” (1937), “Witchcraft and Black Magic” (1946), and “The
Physical Phenomena of Mysticism” (1947). Many vintage books such as
this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are
republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality
edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the
author.
